Film producer from Watchdog media Chris Nolan has released his latest movie "8 Months in Ukraine", which is a sequel to his previous "Roses have Thorns" series about the events in Ukraine after the coup in Kiev in 2014. The movie details the preparation, implementation, and consequences of the illegal removal of the then (and technically acting, since he never formally relinquished his powers) President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, all the way up to the shootdown of the Malaysian Airlines flight MH-17 over the skies of Donbass.
After three years of whitewashing the non-stop shelling on the residential areas of Donbass by the Ukrainian Army, which have resulted in the deaths of thousands of both peaceful children and adults, the propaganda machine of the West and its NGOs is starting to look tired and feeble. As a result of this fatigue, no longer do the terms separatist and terrorist dominate the information space.
In a recent interview to Sputnik Maurizio Marrone, a member of the regional council and the city administration of Turin, highlighted this trend, saying that the EU understands that it has taken the wrong side in the (Ukrainian) conflict, that it has a great responsibility and therefore there are constant attempts to censor the reports about this war as much as possible. Continuing on the topic of the war in Donbass, he said, I personally visited Donetsk and Lugansk three times, where I saw with my own eyes how the artillery of Kiev bombed the quarters in which the civilian population lives, which constantly leads to new victims
Following from Marrone's words, it comes as no surprise to anyone with a basic comprehension of how the media works that such things as deliberate censorship are simply normal for the American lapdogs sat in Brussels. They so-called elites seem to think that not proclaiming something means that it isn't a reality, that it doesn't exist, and visa-versa in relation to the mythical Russian aggression.
Tonight James talks to the "unplugged mom" Laurette Lynn (laurettelynn.com) about her book, Don't Do Drugs Stay Out of School. We discuss the conditioning and indoctrination of the compulsory education system and how parents can take their children off the treadmill of traditional schooling. Join us tonight for a fascinating conversation about the inter-generational revolution that can truly change our planet for the better.

Moving between a local microcosm and the global oil crisis, H2Oil weaves together a collection of compelling stories of people who are at the front lines of the biggest industrial project in human history: Canada's tar sands. H2Oil is a feature-length documentary that traces the wavering balance between the urgent need to protect and preserve fresh water resources and the mad clamoring to fill the global demand for oil. It is a film that asks: what is more important, water or oil? Will the quest for profit overshadow efforts to protect public health and the environment in Canada's richest province?
Jenin Jenin
director: Mohamed Bakri, Palestine 2003, 54m
Jenin Jenin, directed and co-produced by Palestinian actor and director Mohamed Bakri, includes testimony from Jenin residents after the Israeli army's Defensive Wall operation, during which the city and camp were the scenes of fierce fighting. The operation ended with Jenin flattened and scores of Palestinians dead. Palestinians as well as numerous human rights groups accused Israel of committing war crimes in the April 2002 attack on the refugee camp. Jenin Jenin shows the extent to which the prolonged oppression and terror has affected the state of mind of the Palestinian inhabitants of Jenin.
directors: Danniel Danniel, Juliano Mer-Khamis, Israel, Netherlands, Palestine 2004, 1h 25m
ARNA'S CHILDREN tells the story of a theatre group that was established by Arna Mer Khamis. Arna comes from a Zionist family and in the 1950s married a Palestinian Arab, Saliba Khamis. On the West Bank, she opened an alternative education system for children whose regular life was disrupted by the Israeli occupation. The theatre group that she started engaged children from Jenin, helping them to express their everyday frustrations, anger, bitterness and fear. Arna's son Juliano, director of this film, was also one of the directors of Jenin's theatre. With his camera, he filmed the children during rehearsal periods from 1989 to 1996. Now, he goes back to see what happened to them. Yussef committed a suicide attack in Hadera in 2001, Ashraf was killed in the battle of Jenin, Alla leads a resistance group. Juliano, who today is one of the leading actors in the region, looks back in time in Jenin, trying to understand the choices made by the children he loved and worked with. Eight years ago, the theatre was closed and life became static and paralysed. Shifting back and forth in time, the film reveals the tragedy and horror of lives trapped by the circumstances of the Israeli occupation.
No End in Sight
directed: Charles Ferguson USA 2008, 1h 42m
No End in Sight critically examines the Bush Administration’s 2003 invasion of Iraq and the ensuing war, unearthing the aftermath of the military operations of American forces in Baghdad.
The film alleges that the American occupation has resulted in more harm than good in Iraq. An insufficient number of troops were deployed after the capture of Baghdad, which resulted in insufficient law and order and led to widespread looting. The de-Ba’athification policy, which banned former government employees from holding any position in the new government and disbanded the defeated Iraqi army, is greatly rebuked as it created a large pool of unemployed and disgruntled armed men who formed the insurgency.
Featuring interviews with key players including generals, ambassadors, administration officials, soldiers and journalists, No End in Sight is an account of the incompetence and short-sightedness that is largely to blame for the chaos and lack of order in Iraq today.
